Charlie Brooker is one of the most influential satirists working today. Having started out as a cartoonist, his razor-sharp writing on culture and the media made his TV columns for The Guardian, begun in 2000, essential reading for many. It was not long until his acerbic and frequently absurd world view found a home on BBC Four in the form of the TV review show, Screenwipe. He is also behind acclaimed comedies like Nathan Barley.

In the week that the new season launches, Charlie Brooker joins The Media Show to look back at his career. Show less
